 Only in homo sapiens is the VDR responsible for expression of the Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, the primary defense of the intra-phagocytic innate immune system.   Only in homo sapiens is the VDR responsible for expression of the Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, the primary defense of the intra-phagocytic innate immune system.

 Importantly, the innate immune functions of the VDR are unique to Homo sapiens. In Homo sapiens, and only in Homo sapiens, there is one nuclear receptor, the VDR, which expresses genes for TLR2, as well as the cathelicidin and beta-defensin anti-microbial peptides, all of these are essential to the intracellular innate immune defences.   Importantly, the innate immune functions of the VDR are unique to Homo sapiens.

-You cannot study the vitamin D receptor in mice, how it relates to the immune system, and expect it to translate to Homo sapiens. Whereas in man the VDR transcribes cathelicidin, which is the primary anti-microbial producing peptides that protect the phagocytes themselves. And TLR2, the primary toll-like receptor which detects pathogens inside the macrophages, there is no such homology in mice.  //9// +You cannot study the vitamin D receptor in mice, how it relates to the immune system, and expect it to translate to Homo sapiens.

 In mice, there are other receptors, and other genes that do that. Even the higher primates do not emulate the cathelicidin innate immunity of Homo sapiens.  In mice, there are other receptors, and other genes that do that.

 Further, we note that characteristic modes of instability lie in the microwave frequency range, which is currently populated by cellphone and WiFi communication signals, and that the susceptibility is ligand dependent.  A case series of 64 patient-reported outcomes subsequent to use of a silver-threaded cap designed to protect the brain and brain stem from microwave Electrosmog resulted in 90% reporting "definite" or "strong" changes in their disease symptoms.  This is much higher than the 3-5% rate reported for electromagnetic hypersensitivity in a healthy population and suggests that effective control of environmental Electrosmog immunomodulation may soon become necessary for successful therapy of autoimmune disease.  Further, we note that characteristic modes of instability lie in the microwave frequency range, which is currently populated by cellphone and WiFi communication signals, and that the susceptibility is ligand dependent.  A case series of 64 patient-reported outcomes subsequent to use of a silver-threaded cap designed to protect the brain and brain stem from microwave Electrosmog resulted in 90% reporting "definite" or "strong" changes in their disease symptoms.  This is much higher than the 3-5% rate reported for electromagnetic hypersensitivity in a healthy population and suggests that effective control of environmental Electrosmog immunomodulation may soon become necessary for successful therapy of autoimmune disease.
